BUSH OPPOSES MIDDLE CLASS TAX CUTS!!! From the WaPo:

President Bush yesterday scuttled a Republican agreement to extend three expiring middle-class tax cuts for two years....
On Tuesday night, congressional GOP leaders agreed to a modest, two-year extension of an expanded, 10 percent income tax bracket, a tax break for married couples and a $1,000-per-child tax credit. Congress passed those tax cuts last year, and they will expire at the end of 2004 unless Congress acts....
Chief of Staff Andrew H. Card Jr. put in a round of angry phone calls Tuesday night, several Senate aides said. Then White House counselor Karl Rove and Bush himself called GOP tax writers yesterday urging them to kill the deal.

Why does George Bush hate the middle class?
George Bush has never met a tax cut he didn't like. So what gives? Is Hell really freezing over? Of course not. Wonder what those "...." are standing for? Here's what I left out:

President Bush yesterday scuttled a Republican agreement to extend three expiring middle-class tax cuts for two years, deciding instead to push for a more costly five-year extension when Congress returns in September.
On Tuesday night, congressional GOP leaders agreed to a modest, two-year extension of an expanded, 10 percent income tax bracket, a tax break for married couples and a $1,000-per-child tax credit. Congress passed those tax cuts last year, and they will expire at the end of 2004 unless Congress acts.
But White House officials urged Republicans to hold out for a longer extension more in line with the president's call to make the tax cuts permanent. Chief of Staff Andrew H. Card Jr. put in a round of angry phone calls Tuesday night, several Senate aides said. Then White House counselor Karl Rove and Bush himself called GOP tax writers yesterday urging them to kill the deal.

See how fun and easy that was? Just like the GOP! Does John Kerry really oppose funding the troops, as BC04 have alleged? No. He voted for a plan that would have paid for the war by eliminating some of the tax cuts for the rich. But you're not told that part of the story.
This must mean that Bush told Republicans to vote against the tax cuts before they are going to vote for them? Sounds like a flip-flop to me!
So does George Bush really hate the middle class? "Hate?" As much as I loathe Shrub, No, probably not. "Screwing over the middle class through his irresponsible and dishonest policies?" Yeah boy.
